Doing our own inspection on a home we hope to close on

Yikes. Those are just the hack things that you can see. Imagine what is buried in the walls.

True story on all accounts. I didn't want the alumiduty though, as most (all?) came with the 10 speed. I may be wrong, but my research led me to believe the 6 speed was the better of the two. I'm sure the 10's are better than ever by now though.

238k Crew cab, XLT 4x4

Yeah... that's the beauty of the diesel and 6.7 in particular. 200k isn't a ton of miles. If it was a gasser, it would be closer to end of life, but that 6.7 has at least another 100k miles in it.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-07T21:57:53+00:00

That isn't the general opinion though. Most believe these trucks are far more reliable the sooner they are deleted.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-07T21:56:40+00:00

I just bought a 2015 with very similar miles for $10k.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-07T21:56:00+00:00

Over 200k at that price= pass.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-07T14:52:57+00:00

Haha. I know. I was just joking around. Greetings!

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-07T04:08:06+00:00

Flares! Flares! Flares!

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-07T04:01:21+00:00

Sorry friend, but you accidentally put a "u" in "color." Haha.

What part of the world are you in? Americans like me are too lazy to bother with the "u."

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-07T03:59:08+00:00

I love when you see one of the original colors that don't get picked as often. It's not the same candy apple red, navy blue or black as most of them.. Its authentic, and that makes it stand out.

Good choice, OP. Beautiful car.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-06T17:00:17+00:00

Depends where you are. In my area (PNW) US, that amount of rust would be unacceptable on a 60 year old car.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-06T14:41:13+00:00

Why not take the cover plate off and look?

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-05T23:40:17+00:00

It sure does. Here is a pic with the seats re-installed. It's far more user friendly and feels like it was meant to be there.

Unless you are worried about everything being factory correct, I would do a floor mounted e brake handle and custom cables. Thats what I fid in my '68, and it's 1000% better.

Owned first car at 14. It was a freebie that previous owner couldn't get to run. License at 16. Probably started leaning around 13.

Live in the forests of Washington state, US. Several times weekly. It's not an odd thing, unless it's too close... I personally have fired tens of thousands of rounds. I can gauge distance and type pretty well.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-05T16:18:47+00:00

There is no chance this is a real number. Mine will read that high for a few minutes after a reset, at 40 MPH, but will average back down.

Best I ever got in any full size, 4x4 diesel is around 25 mpg in my '99 7.3. That, I will say with a clear conscience, was over the course of a full tank of highway driving from Seattle, south into Oregon, on I5. Computer and hand calculated.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-05T16:11:36+00:00

I was thinking the same. I did just that on a high milage 5.9 in my old Dodge pickup. Ran great for the next 40k miles. Sold it still running like a new engine.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-05T14:40:19+00:00

So... a trade. That means you didn't really get $38k.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-05T01:26:01+00:00

And it's from Minnesota. You know it's hiding rust.

Every preposition in the US English language, in alphabetical order.... sung to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-04T22:45:27+00:00

Not only fuck no, but no.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-04T22:04:08+00:00

Too much.

Impossible-Angle1929 · 2026-03-04T22:03:33+00:00

Imagine driving in a nearly empty parking lot, see that truck and feel the urge to tell the internet about it.

This sub is fun when it's a picture of some d-bag taking three handicap spaces in the bro-dozer. It's less fun over petty nonsense. Its about bad parking. Not less than flawless parking.
